' resent-Haunte To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CONRAD SOHNErnER, a

citizen of the United States, and a" resident of the city of New York,borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New Y ork, haveinvented a new and Improved Parcel- Handle, of which the-following is afull, clear, and exact description. Y

This invention relates to detachable parcel handles such as are commonlyused'for handling or carrying packages, bundles, boxes or the likewrapped with cord, or its equivalent.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a strong, comfortableand reliable handle at a minimum cost.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists inthe arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described andclaimed, and while theinvention is not restricted to the exactYdetailsof construction disclosed-or suggested herein, still for the purpose ofillustrating a'practical embodiment thereof reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, in.which like reference characters designate thesame parts in the several views, and in which g Figure 1 is aperspective view illustrating one manner of use of my improvement.

Fig. 2 is an inside elevation-of the hook end of the device.

Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the head end of the handle; and I a Fig.4- is a cross sectional detail on the line 14t of Fig. 2.

Referring now more particularly'to the drawings I show my improvement ascom prising a bow-shaped handle 10 made preferably of a single piece offlat wood suitably. bent into permanent bow-shape, the grainof thewoodextending lengthwise throughout the bow and hence affording maximumtensile strength. The handle is made without" holes or openings in anydirection and thereby the cost of manufacture thereof is kept' at aminimum. A At one end is formed a head 11 asby'reducing or notching theside edges of the body adjacent thereto asindicated at 12; At the otherend is attached or formed in any suite Copies of this patent mayjbeobtained for five cents Specification of Iietter s Patent; Applicationfiled February-26, 1918. semi No. 219,218,

end of the bow from Patented Apr. 8 ,1919.

ablemanner a hook 13 shown in this case as thereof forced intothe innerface of the'handle, the wire being thence bent into a loop 15 directlyaround the'handle withsuflicient force to bite or embed itself somewhatinto the edges of the handle, and thence the wire is bent. downward pastthe end or point 16 of 1 thehandle and then bent upon itself forming thehook proper 17 This hook may beof any desired shape or with itspointextending in any'suitable directiombut I preferably so.

constructit that the bend or loop of thehook lies directly in thevertical longitudinal central plane of the entire handle whereby the ,p

will be slightly defiectedland the liability of the handle to becomedetached from the. par

cel will be reduced'to a minimum. l The manner of applyingand using the.

handle will be apparentfrom the. illustras. f ftion. The head 11 isfirst slipped beneath the rcord and the handle is then given" a twist.

'suflicient to engage a iloop 18 offthe cord and is cheaper thanhandlesnow on the market, and is fully as reliable.- Iclaim: i 1 As an articleof manufacture, a parcel handle comprising a bentppiece of ,wood thecord when engaged in the bend of the hook grainof which runs lengthwisefrom end to N end and havin a head formed as an integral part of one'enand a metal hook secured to 2.
